Promoting regenerative agriculture

 

Mitigation alone is no longer enough; we will need to draw carbon out of the atmosphere. One of the best ways to do this is by transforming agriculture. Regenerative farming practices draw carbon back into the soil and out of the atmosphere, with the  added benefit of providing better livelihoods for more people than centralized industrial agriculture.

Big Agriculture, which relies on mono crops, tilling, pesticides, and synthetic fertilizers, accounts for approximately 9% of GHG emissions. We must begin subsidizing farming practices that help, rather than hurt, ordinary people and the environment.

Agricultural workers and activists can request resources for their projects below:
